Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

Cleveland County Landfill in Cherryville is the county dump for household and commercial trash, the place locals bring big loads that won’t fit in a curbside can. Neighbors, contractors, and haulers use it when there's more than a pickup bed full. It's a working landfill-stuff gets weighed and buried here rather than recycled on site.
A small entrance booth greets vehicles and there's a scale near the front; loads are charged by weight so plan to stop there. Pull into the drop-off area and follow the signs and traffic flow to the working face where trucks tip loads into a pit. The property is mostly gravel and compacted dirt with heavy equipment moving around, so watch for loaders and trucks. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so expect occasional waits.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose material before driving in-windblown trash creates extra cleanup and can get fined.
- Have paperwork or load info ready if bringing commercial-sized loads, since commercial haulers are accepted and they may be asked for details.
- Keep an eye on footing and vehicle clearance; the site is uneven and muddy after rain, so high-clearance vehicles are easier to maneuver.
